I like RPMs for everything. CPAN's nice, but 1) it's different from everything else on the system, 2) it's easier to know what modules are installed with RPM, 3) it's easier to clone installations with RPM, and 4) I can use CPAN to make the RPMs and get the best of both worlds. ;) Note: This is at least on my home server. The other folks at work don't share my view that you should make a package for everything, and they do random stuff to install software ... -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "... and what are you?
